Customer Reviews by Destination - Bloomsbury & Russell Square

British Museum, Bloomsbury and Russell Square

Bloomsbury is in the academic heart of London, and home to prestigious landmarks such as London University, the Royal Academy of Performing Arts and the captivating British Museum. Discover Museum Street with its collection of unique bookshops and sophisticated cafes or head to Russell Square; a haven for tourists and locals alike.

Bloomsbury and Russell Square are both great areas for being within walking distance of main attractions and museums, all without being too crowded. With many tube stations nearby and great bus routes, you'll be able to get to wherever you fancy visiting. Plus, you're only one stop from Kings Cross Station and St Pancras should you be looking to enjoy an exciting Eurostar break.

Good Week in London

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. However a few things let the Montague down. 1.The first top class hotel we have used that had no fridge in the room. 2.Confusion with the lighting switches'
…
See More combinations. 3.Live piano playing clashed with our going out to theatres- and Sunday night when no shows to go to, no live piano playing. No live piano playing during the day, on any of the days. 4 The TVremote control, although nicely wrapped up in a plastic cover marked sanitised (or something similar) was very poor having to repeatedly press buttons to get any response. Finally the room itself,-although we had apparently been given an upgrade, the 'aisles' between the bathroom and wardrobe, end of bed and dressing table and floor space around the bed very limited resulting in problems moving the5 legged swivel chair anywhere other than under the dressing table.
I think the hotel could have stepped in and offered advice on the best ways and costs to get to the shows. O2 cost £100 there andback by taxi. Traffic all the way there, return trip 'hit' by night time tariff rates that started at 10pm. We we told by a member of the Concierge that the fare there would have been about £15, towhich I responded "£50?". The Concerge man answered back" No - One five" Also ripped off by taxi driver taking us back to Euston. Incoming journey came to £8. Return - by zig-zagging between the roadsaligning with Woburn Place and the roads aligning with Gordon Street, with all the extra traffic lights this zig-zagging incurred, managed to inflate the £8 to £18 at the same time wishing to drop usoff in Melton Street. I insisted he dropped us at Euston's Taxi set-off point.Collapse

Four have fantastic fun

We were four ladies of a certain age having a theatre weekend in London. Train on time, coffee served good journey and back apart from the gentleman having an hour's conversation on the phone for us

See More all to hear about his work ethics. Stayed at the Bedford Hotel Southampton Road, ideal for walking from Kings Cross and to the river, bus stops opposite. We were on the top floor, lovely view overgarden looking towards Post Office Tower. Very clean, bedding spotless, plenty of room. Staff very polite, efficient, helpful, nothing too much trouble, everyone - reception, restaurant, bar, especiallythe porter on Saturday. Evening meal lovely and reasonably priced, breakfast hot, plenty of choice and attentive staff. We managed a trip to Greenwich, sightseeing, evening theatre, Petticoat Lanemarket and a trip on the river. Although we had sunshine and rain we had a really good weekend, transport, accommodation as booked. Roll on our next trip.Collapse
